Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds (or your preferred nuts)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is hot and the sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.
- Once the mixture is heated through and the sugar and cocoa powder are dissolved, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Cover the saucepan with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
- Once chilled, pour the chocolate mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- During the last few minutes of churning, add the mini marshmallows and chopped almonds, allowing them to mix into the ice cream.
- Transfer the churned rocky road ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Scoop the decadent rocky road ice cream into bowls or cones, and savor the delightful combination of chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts!
Conclusion:
With its velvety texture and irresistible mix of chocolatey goodness, gooey marshmallows, and crunchy nuts, homemade rocky road ice cream is a true delight for the senses. Whether enjoyed as a standalone treat or as part of a sundae creation, this indulgent dessert is sure to bring smiles and satisfaction to all who taste it.
